Strong Match — 96.7% match
based on chemical composition and mechanical property overlap.
JIS G4804 SUM22 (JIS G 4804:2021) and JIS G4804 SUM22L (JIS G 4804:2021) are both steel grades.
Both fall under the Free Machining Steel category.
JIS G4804 SUM22 is typically used for screw machine parts, bolts, studs, pins, while JIS G4804 SUM22L is commonly used for complex precision turned parts, high speed machining.
JIS G4804 SUM22 is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan, while JIS G4804 SUM22L is defined under Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), originating from Japan.
As per chemical composition, JIS G4804 SUM22 vs JIS G4804 SUM22L is a 95.1% match.
As per mechanical properties, the match is 100%.
Combined, this makes them a strong match overall at 96.7%.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
